  • Page 36: Power Supply To The Motor

    5.5 Power supply to the motor The main PCB powers the motor directly via a TRIAC. Reversal of the direction of the motor is effected by two relays that vary the connection between the rotor and the stator. A third relay powers the stator in half- or full-range operation, depending on the spin speed. The speed of the motor is controlled by a signal received from the tachometric generator.
  • Page 37: Circulation Pump

    5.6 Circulation pump In Jetsystem models, the circulation pump is powered directly by the main PCB via a TRIAC. 5.7 Heating The heating element is powered directly by the main PCB via a relay. As a safety feature, a traditional dual-level pressure switch (anti-boiling 1 and anti-boiling 2) is connected in series to the heating element.
